Joys of Autumn

Just read about your Autumn Lady's Tresses, butty. How lovely

Pics of Autumn Lady's Tresses

Thanks, Butty. There are lots of beech trees in Cheshire, so when I go out in the country to shake off the remnants of this accursed cold, I will take the secateurs.

Now my green weeping maple (looks like a yurt) is turning and will soon be a mass of flaming foliage until the first gale...

Maple colours are stunning, aren't they Anno.

Great excitement here.The two Little Owls that sat, evening and early morning, all last Autumn on the chimney stack beyond our back wall, have just returned! I raced to get the binos, by which time, naturally, they had flown.

Yes, and the tall red maple next to the weeping one is getting more red all the time now. Little Owls - how wonderful! Don't think I have ever seen (or heard) one of those.

Cut some red peony leaf stalks today and have stuck them in a dry vase on a windowsill. Nice.

Ahh, very nice B.

My glycerined beech leaves are beginning to turn.......nicely!

Butty mine are two years old. They make an impact against a white wall, displayed in a tall vase.

Wonderful soop, and do they cast shadows, too.

Yes, at certain times of the day.
